Reviews for Bronislava Nijinska: Early Memoirs
"Early Memoirs . . . is a book that not only paints a detailed canvas of ballet in turn-of-the-century Russia, but does so with an attention to fact and an appreciation of artistic issues that reflect the same analytical intelligence that Nijinska revealed in her own choreography."—Lynn Garafola, author of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes
